in 2008, the supreme court ratified, okayed in indiana voter i.d. law and a whole bunch of states have these things to prevent fraud, which is part of good citizenship. i don't understand why you believe in the state of texas, we don't want illegals voting, do we? we want legals to vote. and legals have nothing to hide, nothing to fear as long as they have an i.d. card with a picture or something else that will pass for it. i don't understand what's wrong with that. >> this law goes much further than indiana does. indiana's not a covered jurisdiction under the voting rights act. and they don't have the history we do. we still have many, many problems with election officials denying african-americans and latinos the right to vote. we have examples of intimidation at the polling sites when officials don't get involved and allow people to exercise their franchise who permit people to intimidate them. we have other circumstances where individuals have been denied the right to cast provisional ballots. >> that's against the law. but the point i'm making
